Itineraries

VENICE
Magnificent Venice is easy to reach from the Venice Hotel Villa Dori in just about 10 minutes with the hotel's shuttle to/from Venice - Piazzale Roma. Itineraries for the heart of the city leave Piazzale Roma (the car terminal) for classic tours of the Rialto bridge and St. Mark's square or off the beaten track peeks of the more authentic "campi" and "campielli" sidestepped by bustling tourists. The Grand Canal, the main waterway in Venice overlooked by the city's most stunning palazzos, is a must (ferries that cruise the canal depart from Piazzale Roma).

RIVIERA DEL BRENTA
Known throughout the world for the breathtaking Villas that scatter its shores, the Riviera del Brenta is just 1 minute from the Venice Hotel Villa Dori. Once the main water link between Venice and Padua, the Riviera was the elite vacation and business destination for noble Venetian families during the 16th century. Countless luxury homes with superb gardens still stretch along its shores. Don't miss the sixteenth century Villa Foscari La Malcontenta in Mira, exceptional work of Palladian, and the 18th century Villa Reale Pisani in Strà, with frescoes by Tiepolo, an ostentatious park and delightful labyrinth.

THE PROSECCO ROUTE
Between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, the Marca Trevigiana hills are criss-crossed by the Prosecco route dedicated to the celebrated white wine renowned throughout Italy and the world for its refined perlage. Upon request, Venice Hotel Villa Dori organizes gourmet wine tours even customized. The itinerary is highly enjoyable: a procession of vineyards extend along the hill crests from one town to the next, each rich in history and art, like San Pietro di Feletto with its millennial parish and Conegliano, enchanting village at the foot of the hills. Wine tasting in one of the many wine cellars is a must. You'll be captivated by the fruity flavor and variations of Prosecco and Cartizze DOC, from sparkling to dry, brut and extra dry.
